One Woke Dude

Here’s a Republican, not new to this illustroblog, I’d like to have a beer with even though he’s done his share of flippin’ and floppin’. He’s put the bullshit aside for a while.

My friend’s grandson

His name is Sean Reeser. He plays sax; and, he plays it well.
I drew him on my iPad using an Apple Pencil in the Sketch Club app with a final tweak or two in iColorama.
Check him out below playing with @ZackGrooves and Everything Yes, Live at Memphis Drum Shop.

Comfest 2023

Comfest, aka The Community Festival in Columbus, Ohio is, among other things, a three-day, annual celebration of irreversible identity change individually and collectively; and, Comfest 2023 is the 51st celebration of this irreversibility. It’s held each year in Goodale Park, and it comes together by virtue of countless community volunteers and a core group of tireless, creative, and generous organizers. As is written, ‘The festival bills itself as “The Party with a Purpose”.’

Copper Pretzel Plumbing on my New iPad

Image

I recently got a new iPad, a sixth-generation iPad Pro, 12.9-inch (33 cm), colloquially known as the M2 iPad Pro, complete with digital copper plumbing, 512 GB and, by necessity, a new 2nd generation Apple Pencil. Yea, it’s amazing; it’s my 3rd iPad since I started drawing and painting on an iPad in 2013, 10 years ago!


Here are a few other digital renderings done on my new device – mostly composed in Sketch Club using iColorama, Procreate and VideoShop here and there:

A Week in Punta Cana…just in time for our 30th anniversary and the first day of spring

Ok, this time I took my iPad to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic for an all-inclusive week at one of the most beautiful beaches on earth. Every morning we reported for beach duty. Someone would have to get up a little early to reserve some chairs under a palapa, a stationary beach umbrella made of thatch.

Breakfasts and lunches were available at two different buffets, but dinners were different at our all-inclusive. Our group of 6 had made reservations ahead of time at five different restaurants, we returned to one of them twice. That restaurant was Limbo, and it had a wonderful bar and extraordinary bartenders. Our favorite bartender was Emanuel:

Venders came around throughout the day selling just about everything; drinks, of course, were free. That’s the all-inclusive way!

I’ll end with one of the carefully made drinks at Restaurante Limbo!

Happy anniversary to my dearest, Annyth.
